The Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan promises to provide enough gift aid to cover system-wide tuition and fees if you are a California resident who qualifies for financial aid and your family earns less than $80,000 a year. Students who are deemed eligible for the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan will not see an award specifically titled "Blue and Gold."
All sources of scholarship and grant awards including Cal Grant, Pell Grant, and Bobcat Grant count towards the commitment of covering system-wide tuition and fees. If you have enough gift aid to cover your tuition and fees, you are already under the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan.
Students eligible for the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan who do not currently have enough gift aid to cover tuition and fees will have their awards adjusted added a few days prior to the Fall semester payment deadline. All students are automatically considered based on their financial aid eligibility.
